Top man Anthony, loved the reflection on your adventure. Glad you're well and out enjoying the trails! Got a couple of nights away this week in the tent hopefully 🤞
Lovely recap video Anthony, great to join you and everyone in the premier too, good to watch and chat over this epic adventure again well done, an incredible achievement, love and hugs, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🧭
Thanks for joining me Ceri and Kat. It was nice to relive the experience with a few people on the Premiere. First time I’ve done one of those and it was really enjoyable. Thanks for all your support throughout the PW adventure. Have a great week 🙂💚👍
It was lovely to see you make it. When you first set out with a foot injury, i feared the worst. As you progressed each day, the end walk grew ever nearer and we like yourself began to gain confidence that you would do it. It was great watching your daily uploads and moans about grenade bars and how beautiful the weather was. You did really well and it was a pleasure to follow your journeys up and down dale. Good luck with future walks. Cheers.
Thanks very much Kelly. I’m still surprised how the foot issue just went away. I really appreciated your support and encouragement throughout. It definitely made a difference 👍
Hi Anthony, two weeks that will live in your memory forever if not the grenade bars LOL, anyway enjoyed all the videos of your PW trek and all the best for future plans cheers nigel
Great to see your reflections mate. Still amazed at such a great achievement. Very impressive. It’s looking like next year before we’ll get out for a camp together now with this awful weather we’ve been having. Speak soon. Rob
Hi Rob. It’s hard to believe it’s about 6 weeks since I finished the Pennine Way. It was nice to do a reflections video though to recap the adventure. It’s certainly not camping weather at the moment. I can’t decide whether to get some winter gear and get out with the tent. We will definitely sort that camp at some point 👍
I really enjoyed this Video. It’s always good to enter into a time of reflection especially doing something as epic at the Pennine Way. 15 days of walking is a huge challenge. Well done on successfully completing it. I don’t think I’d ever try a grenade bar now lol! Haha! ATB. xx
Thanks for your support throughout Rachel. It was nice to capture a few reflections on video. I’ve definitely saved you a taste ordeal by sharing my experience of Grenade bars!
Hmmm now where *was* that you were walking in this...... 😂 This was a nice video Anthony reflecting on your journey. As I think I probably mentioned before, your films on the Pennine Way will be a lovely record to look back on. it was a great achievement. What I was also impressed by was that, having done many miles each day, you still managed to edit each film on your phone and post them online as you went along. Look forward to finding out where you do decide to head next. OK, now where's that Grenade Bar from that box I ordered earlier....... 😂😂😂😂
It was certainly strange that I’d planned a walk around that area and had watched your video a few days earlier. The daily editing of videos was certainly a chore at times, particularly after a long day. I’m glad I did them though as they’ve been great to watch back after the event. Something I’ll always have now too. Thanks for watching Patrick 👍
Hi Anthony So , today my wife and I finally managed to binge watch every episode of your Pennine way adventure ! At the time you were doing this , we were getting married , so we were unable to follow your fantastic achievement and we had so looked forward to it since your Cleveland way as we thought that’s a hell of a more difficult challenge than your previous one ! Whenever I look at the map and look north of the dales , i always get the impression it’s very isolated snd bleak with very little life around you for mile after mile - was that your impressions ? I would also be interested , if you were prepared to share ( ha !) what your budget was for the 15 days and if you managed to keep to it ? Also , you mentioned the possible ‘what next? ‘ . We would love to see you do the Coast to Coast ? Keep doing what you doing matey and congratulations on an amazing achievement and something to look back on with pride ! Thank you so much for a great insight and fantastic clear videos ! All the best Nick
Hi Nick. Thanks to you and your wife for watching the Pennine Way series. Congratulations on your wedding too 👍. The trail does get more remote the further north you venture. The last couple of days in particular felt very isolated and far away from any civilisation. I loved the remoteness of it all though and the challenge that provided. I didn’t really have a budget when I planned it, although I decided to keep my accommodation costs as cheap as possible which wasn’t easy as none of the YHA’s had any availability. I think my total accommodation costs was around £1000. You could definitely do it cheaper than that by planning further in advance than I did. Obviously there are other costs such as eating out in the evening. No idea what I spent there but I did keep the costs to a minimum. Regarding the next challenge, I do fancy taking on the Coast to Coast but I’m not sure whether I’ll get the time this year. I’ll do a long distance trail though as I’ve got the bug now. Thanks again for watching. I really enjoyed making the videos and it does mean a lot when others enjoy watching them too. 🙂
Enjoyed this recap, and following you along the Pennine Way itself was so inspiring. Hard to believe it was only 2 weeks ago! Looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Thanks Catherine. I’ve got quite a few ideas for next spring. Time for a bit of winter walking for now though starting with a trip to the Lakes next month
Great and honest reflection Anthony. Memories made and captured that will always be there to look back on in the years to come. It was a great achievement and you can see the emotion and how much it meant to you when you were sitting in the hut. Well done for raising the money towards a worthy cause. There is something special about completing a long distance hike that only those that have done it understand. Looking for to whatever the next adventure brings.
Thanks Tony. I’ll certainly treasure the memories from this one. I enjoyed making this video as it was the first chance I’d had to properly reflect on the adventure. There’s definitely something quite addictive about long distance walking and the physical and mental challenge it provides
An epic journey up the spine of England! I watched the entire series - thanks for the daily vlogs and the editing/uploading involved. You have a knack for this! I subscribed and I’m looking forward from Canada 🇨🇦 to more of your adventures while we are stuck at home.
Thanks Jean. I’m not sure I have a knack for UA-cam. I just waffle away to the camera 😆. I’ll add the Offa Dyke trail to my list to consider. Thanks for the suggestion 👍
I've never tried a Grenade Bar. One thing I've learnt from this series is that I probably never will! 😄 Thanks for sharing your thoughts after the trail, Anthony. I hope you do get on to the Coast to Coast next year. All the best and have a good week.
Count yourself fortunate you’ve never had to eat a Grenade bar Olly 😆. I do fancy the C2C at some point. I’ll have a good think about the various options available next year but I’ll definitely do at least one long distance trail
Hi Anthony. Well done on a great effort. I first walked the Pennine Way in my 65th year and all being well I plan to walk it again in 2024 which will be my 75th year. Since my original walk I have become more interested in the equipment people are using as I plan to replace some of mine. Any chance you could do an equipment summary?
It’s certainly something I could consider Tom. Are you planning on camping or staying in B&B’s like I did? The amount I took with me each day was minimal. Probably not what the purists subscribe too, but I wanted to enjoy the PW without being burdened by a heavy pack
Thanks for the update Anthony, I watched every vid every morning and thoroughly enjoyed them, can I ask what foot ware did you use and did you have to change according to the terrane, thanks
Hi John. I wore ASICS Trabuco Max trail running shoes. They were perfect for all the conditions I experienced as they gripped well and dried out really quickly when wet. I did wear waterproof socks with them on wet days to keep the feet dry
A nice summary Anthony. Considering it was a September walk, you did brilliantly with the weather. Yes, I guess the C to C is the obvious next one. I found it a fair bit easier than the PW and personally, although still great, not quite as good. I am a bit of a Pennines obsessive though! Cheers, Chris
Thanks Chris. I suppose I’ve made it difficult for myself by doing the PW first. I very much doubt any other trail will offer the same challenge or variation that the PW has to offer.
Well done Anthony the bonus is you got to film it, when I completed the Pennine Way it was never thought of to make a film of a walk unless you are Julia Bradbury - So treasure the memories and should I be worried that you will walk all the 16 National Trails before me? I have 2 to go 😀
Thanks Andy. I’m not sure I’ll ever get round to completing all 16. I’ll definitely plan a few others though. I love the challenge they provide and the opportunity to meet other folk along the way
I enjoyed this recap Anthony..just wondering what you thought of the accommodation you stayed at along the way. I've just completed the C2C around the same time you were away, stayed at several B&B's, found them quite expensive (ave. £80-£90/night)...did you consider staying in hostels-were any available?? Most YHA's are either closed or for private hire only at the moment. I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. I am planning to walk the PW next year to mark the 40th anniversary of the first time I did it. Back then you could hostel all the way for a fiver/night!! :)
Hi Maurice. The accommodation wasn’t too bad price wise. I managed to get quite a few places around the £50 mark. I couldn’t get into any YHA’s as they were all fully booked. Accommodation was tricky in places too, but I didn’t book mine until July so I did leave it a bit late. A 40th anniversary PW walk sounds great. Plenty of time to prepare for it too
Sorry you feel that way Ian. Not sure why you felt the need to share these comments though. There are millions of videos on UA-cam so my advice would be to not get annoyed to the point where you feel the need to post such an unkind comment and instead just stop watching and watch something more to your taste instead. Have a great day
We love the real experiences! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching 😎
Nice video Anthony. Thank you for sharing and wishing you a wonderful week. Take care and catch you on the next one.
Thanks very much for watching. It’s much appreciated 👍
Thanks for recapping on your mammoth achievement Anthony, I've never done the Pennine Way, hopefully one day 🏃👍
Thanks for watching 😎
Top man Anthony, loved the reflection on your adventure. Glad you're well and out enjoying the trails! Got a couple of nights away this week in the tent hopefully 🤞
Thanks Toby. Have a great few days camping. I must get out for a wild camp soon

Carry on, was a nice way to start my day having a bit of breakfast and watching your daily video...Well done.
Thanks for watching the series. Im glad that seeing my face every day didn’t put you off your breakfast 😆
@@AnthonyJohnson1 Not at all...lol I was wishing I was out there as well....well, most of the time..

Thanks Nigel. I need counselling to help me come to terms with eating those Grenade bars 😆

Hi Anthony, Just came across your channel - subscribed. Looks like you had an amazing time! Much Love, Katy💫💛
Thanks for watching and subscribing Katy. The Pennine Way was an amazing adventure that’s for sure
Cheers Anthony thanks for sharing nearly at a 1000 atb Steve
Thanks for watching Steve. Will be nice to pass that milestone soon hopefully 👍

@@AnthonyJohnson1 Hi Anthony. I propose using b&bs - I'm too old to think about carrying lots of equipment! I think the PW is tough enough.
Look forward to this Anthony.
Thanks for joining the premiere Uncle Albert 👍
Hi there, nice round up of your trip.I guess your next trip won't be sponsored by Grenade Bars then! atb Simon
Hi Simon. I think if the makers of Grenade bars watch any of these videos, they’ll be calling in their legal team to get my videos taken down 😆
Thanks for the update Anthony, I watched every vid every morning and thoroughly enjoyed them, can I ask what foot ware did you use and did you have to change according to the terrane, thanks

curious to see what the next adventure is.
I do talk about this on the video. We can talk more about it on the live chat if you can make the premiere 👍

Hello friends nice video friends great super like video friends 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Grenade bars are one of those things where they're the best of all the protein bars. But being that they're protein bars, they still taste rubbish 😂😂
Very true Tom. I’ve still got a pack left at home. They’re yours if you want them 😆
Far too synoptical. A waste of space on the internet servers. Perhaps the most boring video of the year. What are you thinking??
